I want to express my appreciation to Author, Karen Budzinski & The Adams Group www.AdamsPRGroup.com for this Interview and Giveaway contribution! This subject matter is much needed in the world today!

Karen Budzinski began challenging women to apply themselves to strengthen their relationships in 1981, just a month after she and her husband, Gary, were married. She did not realize at that time that the rest of her life work would be dedicated to helping others build better relationships. Her book, How to Build an Enduring Marriage contains a wealth of information that has benefited an inestimable number of women over the past 33 years.

Karen has headed up Women’s groups in her home and in several churches, taught adult, youth, and children’s classes, led marriage
groups for couples, and counseled troubled marriages. She has held marriage seminars and study groups both in the US and internationally. She has taught leaders in Peru, Dominican Republic, and Haiti, and speaks every year to various MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) groups. Karen still teaches the on-going class on building better relationships in her home.

Karen and her husband, Gary, live in Michigan. Their family has grown to include five adult children, their spouses, and nine
granddaughters and three grandsons.Website | FB: How to Build an Enduring MarriageFB: How to Build Children with IntegrityBlogs | Bible, Marriage, and Raising ChildrenTwitter: Better Relationshipskarenbudzinski@mac.com

Published July 29th 2014 by WestBow PressI want to invite you to take a journey with me while we study and apply ourselves to live out our priorities. It is a journey designed to leave excuses behind as we apply ourselves to an extreme relationship workout. We are going to lift the ideals we have settled for in our relationships to new standards, set aside pre-conceived ideas, commit to develop and apply new skills, and take a look at some of the priorities we have unintentionally allowed to slacken. As we dedicate ourselves to these tasks, results will follow. This book will give you the tools to enjoy marathon relationships.

Avoid common obstacles that hinder successful communication Identify destructive habits that are eating away at marital happiness. Prepare to get through problems without danger or injury to your relationship. Achieve true intimacy, love, and friendship with your husband. Hold onto joy through the ups and downs of life together. Your marriage cannot work unless you do.

Raising the next generation of children is more distracting than ever. We want to raise children with purpose, who excel not only in their pursuits but in the character that makes them victorious when life throws them challenges. How do you give your children the best opportunities without feeding the narcissism prevalent in our selfie society? By giving them integrity.

Building children requires integrity: the wholeness that comes from knowing who you are, what you stand for and what you live for. Integrity is consistent; it can be counted on. Building children with integrity helps them to own the ethics and character that will stand against the flood of social opposition to strong values.

How to Build Children with Integrity is a toolbox of resources and ideas for parents and those who are involved with children. This book is meant to be used as a springboard to inspire people to think of how they can take normal everyday life and build something lasting in children along the way. As we dedicate ourselves to these tasks, results will follow.

I'm very interested in both of these books - How to Build an Enduring Marriage and How to Build Children with Integrity. I think raising children with integrity is something that's, unfortunately, missed a lot in this society. I'm always looking on how to be a better partner and mother. I will have to read these!
